Although it's not yet mathematically official, it is emphatically apparent.
Brace yourself, Orlando Magic fans, because your team is now the worst in the NBA.
You may have the Bobcats and Wizards by a couple of games in the win column, but that won't last long. The Magic have now lost seven in a row, 18 of their last 20 and are well on their way to being the front-runner in the Shabazz Muhammad sweepstakes.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Coming soon: Fox Sports Florida announces Magic games will be shown on tape delay.
There was a time when the Magic's rhythmical playoff mantra used to be, "Blue and White, Ignite!" Well, now the Magic are back to ringing this rhythmical bell: "Ding-dong, y'all, for the ping-pong ball!"
That's right, it's time for Pat Williams to start getting in shape for the draft lottery. The Magic need another multicolored miracle from Williams, their founding father, resident lucky charm and the only man in history to ever win three draft lotteries.
"We have a ping-pong ball farm out at Disney, and every so often, Tinker Bell comes around and sprinkles pixie dust on those ping-pong balls," Williams told me once. "We haven't needed one in a while, but, nevertheless, those magical ping-pong balls are out there."
Good thing because the Magic need one now more than ever in the wake of the broken foot suffered by Glen "Big Baby" Davis on Wednesday – an injury that will likely end his season. Now, sadly, Magic fans are in that dark, forbidden place where no fan wants to be. They must root for losses because the more their team loses, the better the odds of getting the No. 1 pick.
In just half a season of the post-Dwight era, this is what Magic have been relegated to: They've gone from pursuing a championship to praying for ping-pong balls.
Now you see how silly all of that organizational spin was before the season. Remember when the Magic leadership – CEO Alex Martins, GM Rob Hennigan and Coach Jacque Vaughn – for some reason refused to use the term "rebuilding" when talking about the state of the franchise? Remember when there was the far-fetched pipe dream that the Magic might actually remain relevant and playoff-worthy without Dwight?
And remember when some fans actually bought into the belief that this year's team would morph into the second coming of the beloved "Heart and Hustle" team of 1999? Such a comparison is an insult to the Heart and Hustle bunch. That team, behind players like Darrell Armstrong, Bo Outlaw and a young Ben Wallace, didn't just play hard; they played incredibly, amazingly and relentlessly hard.
This Magic team doesn't even come close. In fact, I've never bought the propaganda that this Magic team plays any harder than any other team in the league. In fact, an argument could be made that this collection of players doesn't even play as hard as other teams in the league. If they did, why are they playing such horrid defense during this losing streak? Don't basketball coaches always tell you that playing good defense is about desire, hustle and effort?
Of course, none of this should come as any surprise because most everybody with any basketball acumen knew the Magic were going to be bad this year. But that doesn't make it any less frustrating for fans. Actually, it probably makes it more frustrating because fans don't have anybody to blame.
Usually when a team is exceptionally bad, you call for the coach or GM to be fired, but Magic fans can't do that. You can't blame Hennigan. He's the guy who took over a few months ago and inherited the task of trading the best player in franchise history. You can't blame Vaughn. He's the guy who took over for the best coach in franchise history and inherited a roster that not even Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach or John Wooden could win with.
The only person to blame is Dwight himself and what good does that do? Magic fans have been banging that drum for far too long.
Now the only thing to do is to accept your fate as the worst team in the NBA, swallow hard and ring that rhythmical bell.
Ding-dong, y'all, for the ping-pong ball!

Starring Anne Heche, NBC is premiering this new comedy tonight with back-to-back episodes. Apparently the series is about a Midwestern mom who has a spiritual awakening after a near-death experience. What exactly she awakens to we aren't quite sure, but we know that she awakens to something. Perhaps, just perhaps, she awakens to a larger truth about the world as a whole or, even better, the seven secret herbs and spices that KFC uses. Think of all the money she could make with that, that would make us spiritual.

In our time, few musicians have addressed the classic American pop song with the scholarly attention of Michael Feinstein – and few scholars have performed this repertory with Feinstein's panache.
So Feinstein's performance this weekend at the Auditorium Theatre stands as a significant event for anyone who sees the songs of the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Jimmy Van Heusen, Johnny Mercer and their peers as something more than light entertainment. In truth, this work is to American music what the songs of Franz Schubert are to the European classical tradition: core repertory that helps define a culture.
Feinstein has spent his career championing that premise and encouraging audiences to understand it through his books, radio broadcasts and, perhaps most important, the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, an archive and arts center in Carmel , Ind.
So why did a talented singer-pianist position himself as a cultural advocate?
"There was a time when music played a much more important role in our society, and it was as essential to our lives and as comforting as eating Wheaties in the morning and making family outings to the park on Sunday," writes Feinstein in his new book, "The Gershwins and Me" (Simon & Schuster).
"As a kid growing up in the sixties and seventies, I caught the tail end of the rose-colored time and am startled at the way the arts have been diminished, to the detriment of our society. The level of communal significance they once played is largely unfathomable to our contemporary world and I literally cry sometimes at what we have lost. Where are the songs that we can all sing together – not just some of us, but all of us?
"But that old music has turned out to be longer-lasting and more important to our world than we realized."
Indeed, the music thrives, albeit in niches: in jazz clubs and cabarets, where musicians continuously transform it; on TV shows and movies, where it instantly establishes an earlier time frame and an air of elegance; and, of course, in Feinstein's labors on stage and page.
Yet Feinstein is the first to admit that he has been fighting an uphill battle.
"I live in sort of a bubble, in the sense that my career has always been against the mainstream," says Feinstein. "There are always people who will say, 'It's not going to work.'
"From the time I started in piano bars, people said, 'You can't play those old songs, no one will come to hear them.'"
But they did come, surely persuaded by Feinstein's passion for vintage repertoire and his ardent way of delivering it. His musical approach is unabashedly historic, with ample use of vibrato and a ferociously earnest delivery, but he has brought this music to uncounted listeners who likely wouldn't have discovered it without him.
Though his Feinstein's at Loews Regency cabaret in Manhattan will close at the end of the year, when the hotel launches a major renovation, he vows that he'll find another home for it.
More important, he's startled to learn, he says, that in this hip-hop era, young people are making the same musical discoveries he did as a teenager, thanks partly to technologies unavailable in his own youth.
"I meet kids who know who Ethel Waters and Martha Raye are," says Feinstein, referring to two once-fabled performers who are finding new generations of fans on YouTube and elsewhere.
"The great thing about technology today is that young people have access that was unheard of years ago. …
"The audience is eclectic and ever-evolving."
Thanks, in significant part, to Feinstein's work.
Michael Feinstein will perform with Jeff Lindberg's Chicago Jazz Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Auditorium Theatre, 50 E. Congress Pkwy; $32-$92; 800-982-2787 or auditoriumtheatre.org.
New wave of CDs
This week looms large for jazz album releases:
Anat Cohen: "Claroscuro" (Anzic Records). With "Claroscuro," the superb clarinetist shows why her stature as soloist and bandleader remains on an unstoppable, upward trajectory. Whether negotiating intricate twists and turns of phrase in contemporary music, bringing a New Orleans sensibility to "La Vie en Rose" or reimagining Artie Shaw's "Nightmare" in a stunning duet with clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera, Cohen reaffirms the uncommon versatility of her art. She excels, too, in Brazilian repertoire, as in a haunting reading of the ballad "As Rosas Nao Falam" and a translucent reinvention of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Olha, Maria" with pianist Jason Lindner.
Dave Douglas: "Be Still" (Greenleaf Music). Douglas ranks among the most creative trumpeter-bandleaders in jazz, the profound lyricism of his playing matched by the innovativeness and conceptual breadth of his work. Both factors resonate in "Be Still," a gathering of hymns and originals that emphasize a hushed spirituality. Douglas places much of the recording's focus on singer-guitarist Aoife O'Donovan, and though her breathy vocals certainly suit the ethereal, folkloric nature of the recording, less O'Donovan and more Douglas would have given this recording some needed heft. For all the lustrous beauty of this disc, its ultra-serene tracks ultimately become a bit repetitive.
Shemekia Copeland: "33 1/3" (Telarc). The Chicago diva proves there's still hope for bona fide blues singing that doesn't pander to contemporary musical fashion. Her imploring, declamatory vocals – fueled by her stripped-to-its-essence band – serves up the blues straight and hard. She snarls "Ain't Gonna Be Your Tattoo" (with insinuating guitar riffs from guest Buddy Guy), lavishes a fat-and-luscious vibrato on "One More Time" (drawn from the repertory of her late father, bluesman Johnny Clyde Copeland) and closes it all with a whispering, incantatory version of Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight."
Kurt Elling: "1619 Broadway: The Brill Building Project" (Concord Jazz). After a run of several surprisingly anemic recordings, vocalist Elling makes a welcome move by upping the intensity level somewhat on "1619 Broadway," his homage to the Brill Building, New York's celebrated haven for pop songwriters. Though Elling doesn't approach the technical or creative brilliance of his early work, he provides distinctive, emotional interpretations of nostalgic tunes such as "On Broadway," "You Send Me" and "I Only Have Eyes for You." Each is beautifully sung, though much of the musical interest derives from the atmospheric instrumental accompaniments and from pianist Laurence Hobgood's glistening pianism.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women in the United States.
In fact, one in 19 men and women born today will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in their lifetime, according to the National Cancer Institute. It does not have to be that way. Colorectal cancer is a highly preventable form of cancer.
This means that actions you take can make a real difference in lowering your risk of colorectal cancer. Do you know what actions to take? If not, National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is the perfect time to change that. Here is some advice to get you started:
First and most importantly, get screened. Screening tests can find colorectal polyps (abnormal growths), so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.
Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best. However, colorectal screening remains underused. This is alarming because studies have estimated that screening can reduce the number of people who die from colorectal cancer by as much as 50 percent.
You could avoid or increase your ability to survive colorectal cancer if you are regularly screened. It's that simple - Screening saves lives.
Generally, you should begin screening for colorectal cancer after turning 50 and continue at regular intervals until you are 75.
If you have a parent, brother, sister, or child with colorectal cancer or polyps, your doctor may recommend you get tested earlier or more often. There are many different types of screening tests, so talk to your doctor about which ones you should get and how often you should be tested. Insurance coverage varies for colorectal cancer screenings, so check with your health insurance provider to learn about your benefits. In addition, Medicare covers several colorectal cancer screening tests for its beneficiaries-visit http://www.medicare.gov/health/overview.asp to learn more. For information about free or low cost screening, contact your local health department.
Second, getting regular exercise may help you lower your risk. Studies have found that even moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking for 3 to 4 hours each week, can lower colorectal cancer risk.
To learn more about how exercise may lower your cancer risk, visit www.cancer.gov/ (Search term: Physical Activity). For exercise tips and guidelines, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov/ ) Physical Activity home page (Search term: Physical Activity).
Third, eat right: Eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day is one of the easiest things you can do to lower your risk for diet-related diseases, including some cancers.
Fourth, quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk of colorectal cancer as well as other cancers. You may have already heard that warning, but maybe you did not know that there is free, expert help available. Call 1-877-44U-QUIT and a smoking cessation counselor from the National Cancer Institute will provide you with the information, resources, and advice you need to quit. Or visit http://smokefree.gov/ to get started.
Now that you know what to do, it's time to take action. Start healthy habits this month to reduce your risk for colorectal cancer-call your doctor and make your screening appointment, resolve to get regular exercise, eat healthier, and quit smoking.
Even simply learning more about colorectal cancer is a good start. For reliable information, you can visit the National Cancer Institute's Web site, www.cancer.gov/ (Search term: colorectal).
You will find information about the disease and its prevention, screening, and treatment. You can also call toll-free 1-800-4-CANCER to speak to a Cancer Information Specialist. No matter what you decide to do this month, consider that each action you take is an investment in your most important possession-your health.

My favorite way to eat beet greens which are very flavorful involves nothing more than sauteing them in some oil to which I first add mustard seeds and garlic. Salt, a couple of green chilies, and I am all set.
But I also sometimes add it to dals, as I did in the recipe I am about to share with you: Mung Dal with Beet Greens.
This dish uses just a few simple spices and the beet greens impart it just a slight, pink hue that, I think, looks wonderful. It goes great with rice or chapatis, so take your pick. Enjoy!
Mung Dal with Beet Greens
3/4 cup mung lentils, cooked until tender
1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tomatoes, diced
Greens from 3 beets, chopped
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the mustard and when it sputters, add the onions and saute for a few minutes until the onions turn translucent.
Add the ginger and garlic and saute another minute.
Add the coriander powder, chilli powder and turmeric and stir to coat with oil.
Add the tomatoes and beet greens. Cook until the beet greens have wilted and the tomatoes are breaking down.
Add the cooked mung dal and stir together, adding some water if the curry is too thick. Add salt to taste.
Serve hot!

Future of Desert Trails still being 'chartered'
Desert Trails parents win again
Parent revolution to help parent union with next steps
LaVerne Prep wins vote to take over Desert Trails
Not all Desert Trails parents happy with charter choice
ADELANTO • Parents and students dressed in "I am the Revolution" T-shirts packed the large board room of the Adelanto School District offices Tuesday night in an attempt to persuade the trustees to honor their petition for LaVerne Preparatory Academy.
The school, which was deemed failing by the state, found itself at the center of the nation's first successful effort to invoke the Parent Trigger law, allowing parents to gather signatures to force reform. But after the ASD Board of Trustees in March rejected the parent union's initial petition, five parents filed a lawsuit against the district demanding they verify the petition and that the court recognize the educational rights of students at Desert Trails.
The Desert Trails Parent Union held an election back in October, in which parents who signed the petition could vote on which charter school they wanted to see take over Desert Trails. Only 53 of the original 466 parent petitioners voted, and amongst those who did, the vast majority voted in favor of LaVerne Prep, which is located in Hesperia.
Although La Verne Prep boasts the highest API score for charter schools in the High Desert and the highest API score in the entire Hesperia Unified School District, those who oppose the Parent Trigger law believe that that the charter is not a suitable fit for the district.
"We respectfully request that you give Desert Trails Preparatory Academy and Debbie Tarver the opportunity to succeed in Adelanto just like she's done in Hesperia," said Joe Morales, a lead organizer for the Desert Trails Parent Union at the public hearing.
LaNita Dominique, president of the Adelanto Teachers Association, said she hopes the trustees will keep the lines of communication open between the teachers and the parents, as she said that media reports often inform the teachers of issues before the district does.
Stephanie Engleman, assistant principal of LaVerne Prep, gave a detailed slideshow presentation to the board, addressing the specific needs of English-language learners and special education students.
"This is going to be an honest and upfront process," said trustee Debra Jones to LaVerne Prep's founder, Tarver.
Jones questioned Tarver about the petition, asking her an assortment of questions that centered around the controversial implementation of the school, which she says will be a parentchoice school.
Tarver discussed things that make LaVerne Prep a good choice — the students begin learning Latin in first grade, they call students "scholars" and explained that the school involves the parents heavily in the child's education.
Tarver said the school will have three special education teachers and a special education coordinator to address Desert Trails' high number of special needs children.
Currently the charter is waiting on the "articles of incorporation and bylaws" from the secretary of state to obtain a non-profit status.
"Parents in that school are going to expect a lot, they've been through a lot to get where they are at today, " Jones said.
Tarver agreed with Jones and said she plans on hiring a principal to run the Hesperia location so she can devote 70 percent of her time to the new school.
The new Desert Trails Preparatory Academy anticipates 720 students in the attendance boundaries, and has taken out a $750,000 loan based on enrollment levels.
Tarver said she and the other staff and lawyers will be available to answer all questions. The board will vote on the charter on Jan. 8.
The board has decided to hold a special meeting to further discuss La Verne Preps charter petition; the date for this has yet to be determined.

Why Wearable Computing is Waiting for A.I.
This week, Google Glass got a new app called 'Refresh' that seems small, but it represents the future of wearable computing.
Sat, February 08, 2014
Computerworld — When we look at wearable computers -- smart glasses like Google Glass or smart watches like Pebble -- we tend to think of tiny mobile computers that are somehow attached to our bodies or clothing.
[ Touring Boston Through Google Glass ]
The core attributes, we believe, are miniaturization and convenience. A smart watch, for example, saves you the trouble of pulling a phone out of your pocket to check your notifications.
But these qualities are irrelevant in the face of the real revolution.
I'll say it as plainly as I can: Wearable computers will find out what you want to know, then make you know it.
[ 17 Hot New Wearable Computers ]
[ The 10 Coolest Looks in Wearable Tech ]
Why glassware called 'Refresh' is the future of wearables
A company called Refresh this week introduced a new Google Glass "glassware" app called Refresh.
The app is similar to a Refresh tool for the iPhone that's known as Refresh App. Both are designed to present "dossiers" -- summaries of information -- about people.
One of its neat tricks is to check your calendar, see who you're meeting with, then brief you on selected facts about those people.
Because the Google Glass version of Refresh rests on your face, it does a simple version of what all wearables will do in the future -- it finds out what you want to know, then it makes sure you know it.
For example, wearable devices could help you learn more about people you meet -- filling you in about whether you've met them before or if you share common acquaintances, interests or histories.
It's a small thing. But imagine a future where anything you might want to know simply appears to you without any action or effort on your part. You could be eating in a restaurant, and Google Glass could, for example, tell you that it's the spot where your father proposed to your mother. Or that your friend will be late because of traffic, the salmon got bad reviews online, your parking meter will expire in 20 minutes, or the bathroom is through the bar and up the stairs to the right. Imagine that such knowledge could simply appear into your field of vision at the exact moment when you want to know it.
That's where wearable computing is going.
That's why the wearable revolution is mostly an artificial intelligence revolution. What's really interesting about wearable computing is the work that back-end servers do to figure out what you want to know and then acquire that knowledge. The delivering-it-to-your-brain part is relatively trivial.

The purpose of this report is to provide information to individuals interested in unintentional drowning deaths among Arizona residents. The data for 1997 are placed in a temporal context by comparison with the data for the preceding years.
In this report, nonboat-related unintentional drownings as the underlying cause of death are coded in ICD* as E910; boat-related unintentional drownings are coded E830 or E832. Submersion and drowning undetermined as to whether it was unintentional or purposely inflicted is coded E984. Data to determine the number and characteristics of drownings in Arizona are obtained from the death certificates filed with the Arizona Department of Health Services. Data for the United States are from the Centers for Disease Control, unless otherwise specified.
Population figures for Arizona residents, used to calculate rates, are projections from the Population Statistics Unit in the Arizona Department of Economic Security (data for 1987-1989 and 1993-1997) and the U.S. Census Bureau (data for 1990 and population denominators by ethnic group for 1980, 1990, and 1997). Detailed population data by gender, age and county were unavailable for 1991-1992. In order to obtain the population denominators for these two years, the 1990 percentages of population breakdowns (or census shares) by age group and gender were applied to 1991 and 1992 total state or county population estimates published by the DES.
Due to the public health importance of this type of drowning in Arizona, this report estimated the number of swimming pool drownings. Swimming pool drownings were drownings which met either of the following criteria:

EDMONTON - One blanket on your bed is OK. Two blankets is good. Four blankets is brilliant.
Got it? Good.
You're well on your way to surviving this Edmonton winter. This may be your first Edmonton winter, or it might be your 51st, as it is for me, but if you're going to make it to the other side, you will have to get smart. In that regard, here are some tips, starting with some from online Twitter readers:
Gary B: "If you're gonna be outside all day, rub your feet with (A SMALL AMOUNT OF) cayenne powder. Learned that from an old bike courier."
Mike Cockrall: "Use your mickey pocket for what it was invented for."
Yeggy Smalls: "If it's snowing and you have to park your car for longer than 20 minutes, blast your windshield with A.C. Won't ice up."
Ogopogo70: "Accept it for what it is. While shovelling I thought: 'It is quiet and pretty.' I am a winter hater accepting and embracing it."
Terry McConnell: "1. Drive to the airport. 2. Get on a plane. 3. Leave."
Some sage advice there.
Here's some of my own:
* Buy plenty of bright lights for your house. Turn them all on from dawn to dusk. It will cost you, but do wonders for your spirits.
* It's not necessary for you to be a hero and fully shovel your neighbour's walk. That said, if you make a quick run with your shovel down their sidewalk, clearing a small path through fresh snow so pedestrians don't pack it down, you will be doing a great service.
* Learn the Edmonton Crouch. On our butt-bruising, bone-busting icy sidewalks, walk like you're skating. Bend your knees a bit, get your butt down like you're sitting in a chair, get into what is called "hockey stance" in our local arenas. Your stability and mobility should improve. Yes, you will look silly. Surviving winter is 50 per cent about sacrificing looking good to stay warm and stay safe.
* Engaging in winter sports changes your world view so much so that by March you will be hoping for the ice and snow to stick around. Weird but amazingly true.
* Convince yourself that tuques are cool, and that a "tuque head" hairdo is even cooler.
* If you're under the age of 30, and thinking this tuque advice is coming from a married 51-year-old guy with little hair, feel free to disregard me. I did the same when I was under 30, and the mighty plume of my full head of hair seemed more important than being sensible and staying warm.
The good news is at the frozen bus stop, you will give the rest of us a good laugh. Thank you.
* Don't complain about Edmonton's snow removal, at least not in the first few days after a major snowfall, and not unless you want your property taxes to triple.
* I highly recommend the tropical pyramid at the Muttart Conservatory. Or, if you don't mind getting wet, the Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall.
* On the coldest of days, tuques are also cool indoors. Your spouse will not agree with this, of course, until they try it themselves.
* Stay away from large downtown skyscrapers. The wind chill off of them will instantly freeze and peel your skin, as if you were a naked and blistered banana on the tundra.
* If you're going to be outside for any period of time, plan what you're going to wear very carefully. At last, when you're sure you'll be warm, add one scarf and two extra layers. You can thank me later.
* Never go out with young children when it's -15 C or colder. It might seem like a good idea, and you might have it in your head to toughen them up and be full of the notion that you never let the cold slow you down when you were a kid.
But forget all that garbage. Don't do it.
Remember: each minute of a frozen child's whining shaves one full day off of your life.
* Never once complain about how cold it is. Believe me, we know. We freakin' know. So shut up about it.
* There is one exception to this rule. When you get into an icebox of a frozen car and start driving, you're allowed to loudly curse, squeal, bitch, shriek, moan or yell out gibberish until the car warms up. Let 'er rip. It'll be hot chicken soup for your wintry soul.

I will not get into a lengthy and heartfelt story on how we met - but after having Leanne and Brad Shaffer creatively involved in a few of Shay's shoots (by fluke) - we have all remained very close friends and the rest is history. Having witnessed them evolve in the creative sphere and being constantly inspired by the two of them, we are thrilled to have them on the West Coast for more than a weekend as they are new Venice Beach residents!
Brad and Leanne own and operate Acre Goods + Services: A Creative Group. They are a collaboration of creation; As a team they design, direct, style, build, concept & create - and they want to make something together!!!!!!
Brad and Leanne have been featured in numerous publications for their recently completed home they share together. They married, purchased a 1907 Pennsylvania schoolhouse, and embarked on a joint DIY reno. Now, the labor of love is complete and we are thrilled to feature this amazing design and décor triumph on the blog.
Checkout the before and after pictures along with a preview of Leanne's inspiration below:
What inspires you?
What inspires me? Life! Living! Love. People, places, music, highways, old movies, old trucks, rust and gold, the woods, the beach, my crazy family and my wild friends.
Where do you find all your eclectic pieces?
I find my special stuff on the road, when I'm not expecting to find it and when it's usually most inconvenient. I find stuff in Ohio when my truck is full, I find furniture for LA projects in barns in Pennsylvania and furniture for Pennsylvania projects on abbot Kinney. It's my curse. But I always buy it. I know I'll figure it out and I know it belongs in a good home.
What are your top three decorating tips?
- Don't be afraid to mess up! So what- if it doesn't work- repaint it, return it, sell it on craigslist, push your limits and what you are used to seeing. That's when the good stuff happens.
- If you love it, get it, your home should be a million things you love- that everything you see makes you smile. If you love it, it will work in your space.
- Don't stick to one style- that's when a house loses it's feeling of home. Aim more for the look of a magazine spread than a catalog.
What do you love about LA?
My friends. My job. The creative energy. All in the sunshine…. Pretty perfect.

Scandinavian 'Dorm Room' Decor & Tips
I know how exciting it is to get your first place (or dorm room) - and to decorate! I also know how it is to be on a budget - and in school! I asked a girlfriend of mine from Vancouver, Natalie who owns and operates Cutler Design with her husband, to supply us with some current decor trends for the savvy gal (or guy).
Her fave look this season is the Black, white and simple wood look - also what we like to call 'Scandinavian'. Decorating doesn't have to be expensive - there are so many ways to create a killer, comfortable space while staying on a budget and keeping it chic and on trend.
Here are some of mine and Natalie's affordable tips for sprucing up your new pad or dorm room:
- Pin it! Use gold thumb tacks and post black & white magazine images & quotes in a graphic black & white check pattern. Easy and removable
- Show off your clothes. Because they are awesome! Style it like your fave boutique. Hats, shoes, jackets & dresses on a rolling rack. Who said there isn't enough closet space?
- Lighten up! Every dorm needs a stylish bedside lamp. Add some color! Get creative with your bedside table. Feeling crafty? Try a DIY like this tin barrel.
- Warm it up! Throw a sheep skin rug on your desk chair for instant style and comfort (faux sheepskin that is).
- Throw some Pillows! Throw pillows add a dash of depth and make the space cozy and fun - try making your own!
- Stack it up! Take some of your fave books and stack them on a stool to create a surface to rest your tea while reading or to display some flowers.
- Get fresh! Adding fresh flowers is cheap and will add a bright and fresh feeling to any room - purchase an affordable peace lily or orchid that will last three times as long as cut flowers.
All of these ideas can be done DIY and in a pinch. Check out local flea markets for frames, stools, lamps and tables. One man's trash is another man's treasure! Keep it simple too - some of the best spaces are simple and uncluttered, keeping a zen like relaxing atmosphere for studying or just decompressing after a long day. Below are some of our TOP "easy on the wallet" items that can be bought at IKEA anywhere in the world:
- BEDDINGE LÖVÅS - Sofa bed, Ransta dark gray $229.00 (Similar to item above)

Outdoor Dining Decor
In Los Angeles we are blessed with pretty nice weather all year round, but nothing beats warm summer nights and a backyard soiree. In lieu of our newly purchased outdoor patio furniture, Shay and I have been heavily inspired to throw backyard dinner parties every chance we get (even when we didn't have patio furniture…see our mexican fiesta at the bottom of this post)!
While I may be the chef of the household, Shay is the table decorator extrordinaire. Putting together fun themes for your dinner and coordinating them with the menu is a task we have mastered. Take advantage of what summer has to offer and entertain outdoors in the fresh air at the beach or in your backyard.
Below are some of our personal favorite outdoor dining looks that will sure to inspire a magical evening for you and your friends:
Before where had a seat to sit in - we used our imaginations and threw a perfect mexican inspired backyard soiree that is one of our best parties to date. Stay tuned for more of our themed dinner's soon :)

How to Determine What Salary to Ask For
If you have to answer this question, make sure you have an informed response.
You've probably read that you should try to avoid naming a number first, but the reality is that employers are going to ask and you'll usually have to answer. In fact, many online applications these days won't even let you apply without naming your salary expectations.
This is typically nerve-wracking for candidates, who worry about low-balling themselves or pricing themselves out of consideration. So it's important to research your market value ahead of time; that way, you can give an informed answered based on what comparable positions pay in your geographic area.
[See 10 Tips for Negotiating a Raise.]
But how do you actually do this research?
The most obvious answer might seem to be to consult the many websites that purport to provide salary information. However, many job-seekers report that these sites aren't very accurate, particularly since they generally don't account for the fact that job titles frequently represent wildly different scopes of responsibility.
Here are seven more reliable ways to get salary range information:
1. First and foremost, ask other people in your field for their opinion. Most people don't want to be directly asked what their salary is, but you can bounce figures off them and see how they respond. Do they think the number you mention is about right, or does it seem too high or too low to them?
2. Ask professional organizations in your industry. They often do periodic salary surveys they can share with you, and even if they don't, they can often give you general information about what range to expect.
[See Treat Your Career Like a Smartphone.]
3. Look at similar positions on online job boards to see if salary ranges are listed.
4. Ask agency recruiters what similar positions are paying.
5. Ask around about a specific company's reputation when it comes to compensation. Are they known for paying well? The opposite?
6. Look at government salaries, which are required by law to be publicly available. While they're not always a perfect parallel to private sector jobs, they can give you additional data to factor into your research.
7. Nonprofit job-seekers should consult www.guidestar.com, where you can see any nonprofit's tax reporting. These forms contain a lot of info about the organization's finances and will show you the salaries of key employees there. This can help you get an idea of the organization's pay scale overall. (However, factor in that what the leaders are being paid may not tell you much about what junior staffers are earning.)
[See 10 Things Your Boss Isn't Telling You.]
As you conduct your research, remember that you're looking for patterns and trends to inform your thinking; you're not after one specific figure. That's especially true because salaries are only one piece of a compensation package; many companies factor in other elements as well, such as benefits, bonuses, quality of life issues, and so forth.
Of course, that's precisely why it would be a lot more logical for employers to just tell job-seekers what they intend to pay, rather than playing coy and pushing candidates to throw out a number first, right? But that doesn't usually happen.

She's also the author of Managing to Change the World: The Nonprofit Leader's Guide to Getting Results and former chief of staff of a successful nonprofit organization, where she oversaw day-to-day staff management, hiring, firing, and employee development.

9 Wine-Service Pet Peeves
38 comments :
I've been serving wine in restaurants for nearly 20 years. I find a couple of these items lack understanding and many are contradictory.ReplyDelete
2,4,& 8 explain each other. Reserve lists help trim down the size of the list. They also help servers know what price range to recommend in.
2 & 7 also are rooted in the same problem. The server should never recommend the highest priced bottle. Likewise it is annoying when a guest orders the cheapest bottle. This is generally true because the cheapest bottle has the highest markup and is not a particularly good bottle in most cases. When I go out I will ask, "What would you recommend as a good red/white with a medium/large body in the 30/40/50 dollar range?" This allows the server to make recommendations in the price range that have more going for them than simply being the cheapest.
5 is absurd. The server is not the one behind charging the corkage feel. We would prefer you order of the list or tip us directly for opening the bottle. The corkage fee goes to the restaurant, not the server. Restaurants are for profit businesses that make money off of selling things like wine. I can't put a big ad for my business on your site for free because you sell advertising. Why would a restaurant allow you to bring in a bottle of wine for free when they sell wine?Replies
I totally agree with you David. I'm not certain Simon's top 9 are well balanced (pardon the pun) nor insightful; the obvious service quality points not withstanding.Delete
Andre's Restaurant & Lounge
Las Vegas
I agree David Hayden. As to 5, restaurants are not in the business to serve you at their cost and the best margins are on wine and liquor. Most do not permit you to bring your bottle for good reason. Would you bring your desert and expect them to serve it to you gladly for free? The restaurant ought to at least be able to charge $25 corkage fee or whatever their smallest markup is on a bottle they sell. If you do not want to pay for their service and atmosphere, order takeout and open your own bottle at home.ReplyDelete
Fabulous comment above . . . our county just this last year made it legal for restaurants to offer the privilege of corkage to their customers. It was a tough battle with many restaurants fighting to repeal the new law for fear of lost revenue. We were all for it as making customers happy is what it's all about. But for those patrons who choose to bring in their own special bottles to celebrate with their special meal, we have the same liability and associated costs as if they had purchased wine from us. The corkage fee amounts to the minimal profit we would have made had a customer purchased our lowest priced wine.ReplyDelete
I would like to append a couple of these nine. Regarding wine by the glass, I couldn't agree more - I find the selections in most restaurants to be pretty mundane and rapaciously priced. I would also vote for adding half bottles to the wine list. My wife and I often order adventurously and there is usually no way that a single wine will complement each dish. So a half bottle of something and another half bottle of something completely different also keeps us within the legal limits for driving as well as pairing better with the food.ReplyDelete
And my wife and I have a standing bet that the first wine that I order will ALWAYS be out of stock. It's unbelievable how often it happens. And I am curious enough about wine that I don't order the most popular or well known from the list. Why can't one simply note that it is not available - there aren't that many wine lists in a restaurant. A simple star in pencil next to the listing would suffice, assuming that they intend to restock that wine.
I am always astonished if we order a second bottle of the same wine (boring and unambitious as it is) and the server pours it into a glass with the first bottle's wine still present. Bring me a fresh glass - there is no guarantee that the second bottle isn't corked or has been handled the same way as the first.
And, to add insult to injury, it might not even be the same vintage! I really dislike places that switch vintages from those on the list without telling the diner that they have done so. Normally it is a more recent vintage and, except in special circumstances, it should not be as expensive as the older wine. I can guarantee that the price on the younger wine was not the same as the older wine. There has been less time in storage and, with reds, it is likely to have not matured as much. And, not surprising, I always ask for a reduced price on the newer wine and rarely am offered a break even though it is warranted.
There's a LOT I disagree with here. If you know exactly the wine you want to order, more power to you. For the rest of the world, the average 20+ vine varietals offered can be daunting. "Flowery language"? Has anyone actually spoken to you like this? And yes, wine language is actually a thing that your sommelier has spent years learning. Charging for a corking fee makes business sense. And I've never had a problem with displayed bottles. Wine labels are fun to look at. A good sommelier or server wouldn't recommend the most expensive bottle unless it's actually the wine you're looking for.ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you, I'm with you on this, Kate. This post sounds like it's from someone who is unfamiliar with the restaurant industry which is bizarre for a zagat article.Delete
I have been served in restaurants for more than 50 years. I have experienced every annoying item on this list. A really good restaurant will not knowingly sell a bottle of bad wine. I don't often order the cheapest bottle but, if I know it's good, I sometimes do. I have also ahd hosts ask me to choose a wine because they don't have a lot of knowledge. I usually order ann inexpensvve bottle then because I'm not the one paying the bill. Also the snootiness can take the fun out of ordering the wine. I have had servers that I know well tell me they think there is a better choice that doesn't cost much more and I take that advice in the spirit in which it's intended. David is right about the c orkage fee. Restaurants mark up winee enormously and they want to discourage you from bringing your own.ReplyDelete
I'm going to add my biggest peeve: Overpouring. Wine glasses are not meant to be filled to the brim. And too frequent fill-ups just announce, "Hi, we're trying to get you to buy a second bottle," an unlikely prospect with only two diners. I see this all the time and always ask our server to slow it down, fill the glasses 1/3 full, and let the diners set the pace.ReplyDeleteReplies
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
This is a real pet peve, and I agree with 7-9 but one through six either never happen (really, the waiter suggested the Petrus??) or are wrong. Charging corkage is consumer friendly and the tip goes to the waiter, not the house. This seems to be an article in search of a problem to talk about. And it missed the biggest faux pas - overpouring.Delete
Really? Computerized lists? Which planet?
I absolutely hate it when servers just come around and refill glasses without asking. First, it reeks of trying to sell a second bottle. Second, it wastes a lot of wine.Delete
People have different preferences as to the amount they want to drink. Some want to keep it coming. Others are happy with just one glass. All are perfectly capable of reaching for the bottle and pouring a full glass, or a sip or whatever. We don't need the server to make those decisions for us.
My pet peeve is having white white wine chilled to just above freezing. Serve it to me at around 50 degrees. Please.ReplyDelete
I'm not so picky about reds, but they are usually not served chilled at all.
R Wendell HarwellReplies
Two pet peeves, both based on waiters pretending expertise.Delete
1. Arguing about chilling young beaujolias. Chilling really depends on the age of the wine, not the color. Whites are typically enjoyed much younger than reds, but not in the case of Beaujolais.
2. Wrong recommendations, e.g. "oh, we're out of Poulliy Fumé, But we have Pouilly Fuissé, it's from the same vinyard"
Being a restaurant owner, I can tell you that we charge a very moderate corakage fee of $10. However, the writer should understand that there is a real expense to running a restaurant (the building, the ambiance, the cute server, the glasses, the dishwasher to wash those glasses, the decanters, on.. on ... and on... Charging a corkage fee isn't a way to get in a consumers pocket, it is quite simply offsetting true costs a restaurant has built in.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not even in the restaurant business and I understand this. There are expenses, plus the loss of profit from selling off their own list.Delete
I agree with the comment about snooty waiters/sommeliers. At one of the restaurants of a very famous chef at which we were going to spend over $300 for 2, I was aghast at the wine mark-up. For example, a bottle I knew cost about $12 retail was priced at $50. I asked the waiter for a suggestion in the $60 range, and he actually rolled his eyes and sighed. I then asked him if he understood that his tip would be based on my satisfaction with his service. I got my recommendations.ReplyDelete
Who wrote this article and who made them the authority on this subject. It's obvious that they have no clue on this subject and I find the content insulting.ReplyDeleteReplies
I kinda find your comment insulting. The author's name is at the top, whereas your comment has is written by "anonymous". Simon has been to many restaurants as a customer and it's his opinion. He does not claim all-knowing authority. If you've got a particular beef about one of the items, be specific, otherwise we will label you "internet crank"Delete
I couldn't disagree with you more, Simon, on #1. That "flowery language" is exactly what is MISSING from most well, and not-so-well, put together wine lists. I've been a dedicated oenophile for 20+ years and still can only muster an educated guess at how most wines on a list will appeal to me. Imagine the average consumer, who may already be intimidated by their lack of wine knowledge, trying to make heads or tails from a list.ReplyDelete
The little time it takes to give a bit of education about each bottle, will surely only serve to excite more people to ante up for a bottle.... not to mention lead to more full-bottle sales instead of single glass orders
Wine should be friendly... not snobbish
I have two italian restaurants. I've had inumerate amounts of customers thank me. In one restaurant I include descriptions,and the other I have a glossary describing the varietals. People are spending good money and they should get what they like. Have you ever tried to make sense of an Italian wine list? This is how my customers get out of their 'comfort' zones and try new and exciting new wines. An invaluable lesson, that I learned years ago in my advanced wset course.ReplyDelete
My thought is: why would a restaurant offer something that the establishment would be offended at by a patron ordering? If I'm offering it to my client, regardless of what it is (or the price), I should be pleased it is chosen and hope my client enjoys it.ReplyDelete
I personally have not ever felt insecure about anything I've ordered at a restaurant.
Also disagree with a few of the list points: Corkage fee is very fair. Much more annoying to be faced with silly markups on poor selection and no corkage as an option. Also, you missed one: poor glasses - makes such a difference.ReplyDelete
Not offering corkage at all is a pet peeve. The restaurant is entitled to make money for serving my wine. Some of my wine buddies and I have much better wine than the resturant. Typically, when a restaurant has fine wines they are too young to drink. When I'm told that no corkage is allowed I usually state: Take the $30 bottle on your list, bring me the glasses, charge me $30, pour my wine, keep your bottle and make me a happy customer! Most knowledgable somoliers would want to taste the wines we bring and we are happy to share with them. Over pouring is a huge no no!ReplyDelete
REAL PET PEEVES!ReplyDelete
1) Insane markups! I can buy this for $20, you're charging $65?!?
2) You want me to tip you, why am I pouring it?!? I shouldn't have to touch the bottle!
3) Some snooty restaurant owners (La Bootikeek Franksoiuze?) don't offer anything I've ever heard of!
4) Hot wine? I've been to many a place that stored the wine in the kitchen. By the stove!
5) Clueless servers. Hire em', and I have to edjumikate em'?
6) Bad writers actually paid by Zagat.
I rarely comment on the articles, but as I read this, I kept thinking how much I disagreed with most of them. So, Simon, I will just add that I am inline with many of the comments listed here; you need to educate yourself on the drivers behind the processes in place, such as corkage fees; I don't mind a reasonable one ($15 -ish), and will try to negotiate it down where I can, but I understand it - restaurant owners give up the revenue of a bottle of wine (probably a good one, if the person is bringing his own)and bear the cost of cleanup on glasses. This article shows that you talked to many an uneducated wine drinker and no restaurant owners at all...ReplyDelete
As to Corkage Fee are you kidding? I own a restaurant.ReplyDelete
We are in the BUSINESS to sell wine. Should the Guest be able to bring in his Filet Mignon because he can buy it cheaper and have the Chef cook it to save money?
What if the Guest wants the wine decanted in our $75 decanter? What if they want to use our Bordeaux glasses that cost us $10 a piece. They break you know with normal wear and tear. The waiter has to spend time polishing the glasses etc. The same wine only costs less at (Costco) if you drink it outside sitting on a sidewalk--chugging it out of the bottle. If you take it home your fractional mortgage payment, electricity, insurance, Riedel stemware, heating and cooling the dining room, dishwashing detergent, etc etc etc have to be "added" to the cost of the wine. Your home = my restaurant.
Your writer is ABSURD on this point.Replies
Yes, and thank you, to everything you saidDelete
I have a pet peeve that hasn't been mentioned. You order wine by the glass from the menu and the waiter brings back a glass with wine in it already. You don't see them pour it from the bottle so you don't know if it's a cheap house wine or the nicer one you ordered. It doesn't happen often but I've seen it enough. Of course, when I do order house wine by the glass, I'm perfectly fine if they just bring me a glass already filled, preferably over poured... :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Bitch. We hate you! You are what is wrong with the service industry. Please eat at home from now on and pour as much as you want into that depressingly small glass.Delete
Wow, such vitriol! I think you need to take a closer look in the mirror if you want to know what's actually wrong with the service industry.Delete
Really!? You're bitching about a BYOB fee? Most wine-snobs don't even tip on the bottle price (or service), so yes I'm gonna fucking charge you for bringing your own bottle to an establishment that that has plenty to offer. Would you bring you own bottle of vodka to pour in you glass of cranberry juice and expect to get it for free.ReplyDelete
Obviously a snobbish diner who has never worked in a restaurant before and quite possibly knows nothing about business.ReplyDelete
Great comments on here to this crappy list.
You don't want too many wines to read through but you want an extensive wine by the glass list, talk about getting a corked glass of wine. You also don't want a separated list for those who do want options. Thanks for thinking of only your own ignorant opinion.
No, it doesn't cost $25 to open a bottle. Really? Are you truly believing your cause on this one? Liability and, we are a business. If we let everyone bring their own bottle and charged nothing, how do we make money? Why have a wine list? Expecting a proper tip by leaving off the corkage fee is like expecting to get hit by lightning. Most servers aren't taking the chance. Especially with an auto grat you have jut destroyed by bringing your 5 bottles of wine and buying no alcohol, a restaurant's biggest profit.
You all are full of prunes! Wine, as with many pleasures, is a very personal experience. The author's points are all valid, from that person's perspective. The use of the pronoun, we, is a literary option and should not be taken literally.ReplyDelete
you're starting to sound like the snob...sorry but poorly done and a bit pretentiousReplyDelete
Simple Simon,ReplyDelete
I'll concede eight out of the nine, just to make this quick. Google the cost of a liquor license the next time you get offended by a corkage fee. It's kind of simple.

Neighborhoods: Lower Pacific Heights, Lower Pacific Heights (Fillmore), Central North
Great – It was great. Very efficient. I ordered online, showed up at the clinic site without an appointment and was in and out of the office in 5 minutes. I had results online 48 hours later.
Low cost testing – I got tested here just about a week ago. Simple STD testing is awesome! The test was simple, fast and their location is conveniently located. Plus in a low cost…. Great!! I was even much happier because I came negative. Thank you all so much!!
recommended place to visit! – I was here last Thursday for my STD tests. Not only was everyone so kind and professional, but they were super nice! Their counselors were helpful and always there when I needed them. The entire staff were accommodating and comforting. Excellent job!!
No fuss testing – Recently I found myself having a symptoms of STI. I called up Simple STD testing I got an appointment the same day. I had a lot of questions, and their counselors assured me that I need to worry about my health first; money would not be an issue. Between the incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive staff, and the great service I received, it's hard for me to pick out what I enjoyed most about my experience there... But I've never felt as comfortable in a doctor's office as I did with their lab! Thanks!!
Fast and reliable – This lab is fantastic and is very clean. I have been impressed with Simple STD testing's service right from the start. I've had my STD test done at their lab, simple, fast and very reliable. I have never had a problem with my payment because they gave me great options about that and the staff there is super friendly and professional. Keep it up!
